Man Utd legend Schmeichel raps Man City boss Pellegrini for Hart axing

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel says Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was wrong to drop Joe Hart.

Hart has lost his place to Costel Pantilimon after a string of high-profile mistakes for City.

Schmeichel, who played for both Manchester clubs, told BBC 5 live: "I don't think he's done too much wrong.

"Sometimes things aren't working for you, but when it's Joe Hart it's highlighted like he's killed someone.

"I disagree with Pellegrini's decision. I disagree with the whole debate about Joe Hart.

"He might have had the odd situation, but he hasn't gone from being an absolutely brilliant keeper to what he is being portrayed as now."
